WELCOME to the Ontario Irish
(CAN-ONTARIO-IRISH-L) Discussion List. This is a discussion area for
anyone who has an interest in the Genealogy, History, Culture or anything
related to the Irish immigration to the Ontario Province. This list is for
the whole province of Ontario, including the old County of Ontario. If
your ancestor lived or even just passed through Ontario, they have a
special type of culture. The fun part of the list is figuring our what
part or our traditions originated in Ireland or originated from Ontario.
This list will be a place where we discuss those traditions that include
holidays, recipes, music, weddings, births, funerals/wakes, etc.
Hopefully, in our discourse we will find where the tradition started and
which are pure Irish, which are Ontario Irish or which are just Ontario
related.

set up so that all replies automatically go back to the list. This is done
